Means for each fruit type followed by the same letter are not significantly different (p < 0.05). Treated fruit were exposed to standard packhouse treatments (pre-packhouse drench, chlorine wash, fungicide dips, and wax application) before being subjected to 5 weeks cold storage. Untreated fruit were subjected to 5 weeks of cold storage without packhouse treatments.
